Flathead catfish

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because Flathead catfish are an invasive species in the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. As well as being an invasive species in several other large rivers and their tributaries across the United States. Since this species of catfish is an invasive species I think its important that I add as much relevant information I can to improve the quality of this Wikipedia article. My initial impression of this article was that it has a good structure to the Wikipedia page, but it is fairly short and has more information which can be added into the article.
